The document provides instructions for creating an animated Flash project. It describes creating two movie clips named "lavastus" and "ohjaus" containing animated shapes. The "ohjaus" clip is duplicated and instances are given names like k1 and k2. Code is added to make the instances play sequentially. "Ohjaus" is then duplicated in the main scene as instances s1, s2, etc. and more code makes these play sequentially. Finally, motion tweening and color tinting are added.

Open new flash document and give the following properties to it:
width : 550 px
height : 385 px
background : #FFFFFF
Create two new movie clips. Name them as “lavastus” and “ohjaus”.
Open “lavastus” for editing. Create a rectangle without strokes, size 50 * 50 px.
Add keyframe to the frame 15 and draw circle without strokes, size 55 * 55 px.
Add keyframe to the frame 30 and write letter ‘C’ by using the font Bullets 4 (Japanese). It
can be downloaded from http://img.dafont.com/zip/bullets4_japanese.zip.
Break text apart so you can apply some tweening to it. All the shapes are black.

Open “ohjaus” movie clip and place “lavastus” movie clip in the scene. Repeat this many
times, long as you have 7 clips in diagonal. Give instance name for each clip. k1, k2, k3 ...

Add layer and name it “code”. Name the other layer “clips”. Write the following codes to the
“code” layer.
frame 1 stop();
frame 5 k1.gotoAndPlay(2);
frame 10 k2.gotoAndPlay(2);
frame 15 k3.gotoAndPlay(2);
and so on until
frame 35 k7.gotoAndPlay(2);
frame 40 stop();
Now close the “ohjaus” movie clip and place it in the main scene. Again place the “ohjaus”
movie clip 5 times in the main scene. Name instances as s1, s2, s3, s4 and s5.

Add layer “code” and rename other layer to “clips”. Now we do the same what we did to the
“ohjaus” movie clip, except no stop(); in the first frame.
frame 5 s1.gotoAndPlay(2);
frame 10 s2.gotoAndPlay(2);
and so on until
frame 30 stop();
Now test the movie to see the animation.

Create motion tween and add a keyframe to the last frame. In the last frame, apply color tint

To have color affecting later, move last frames of both layers later, example to the frame 50.
Change the background color to black. Again, test movie.
There you have it and it takes only about 2 kilobytes. It is the magic of one movie clip.
